Happy 5th Birthday

On the 14th my munchkin turned 5! We had a Justin Bieber themed party. Here are a couple of the pics... I'll post more later!

Time

So... today used to be a significant date for me... Now it's a date I wish I could forget. Today would have been 6 years of marriage...if I were still married. I Last year was obviously the hardest for me to forget since it was the first since our divorce. This is the second year. And I must admit I had completely forgotten what the date was and everything. But then Austin called to talk to Desi and I was reminded... I am beyond happy with my current situation and with my boyfriend Mike. But it's just a little hard to think why this date used to be so significant. I seriously wonder if I will ever be able to forget this date and what it used to be... And I wonder what it's going to take to forget it for good. But at least each year gets a little easier to forget. Maybe that's what it takes- TIME...

New Do

I decided that since Desiree is start Kindergarten on Monday, she needed a "back to school" haircut. Plus when her hair starts getting remotely long it gets all knotty and a pain to deal with.

Here's the new-do! :-)

Justin Bieber

Here is a pic of the future Mr. and Mrs. Justin Bieber :

Almost 5...

Every year right before Desi's birthday I take pictures... here are a few her almost 5 pictures that I edited

Summer, Summer, Summer, Time!

Well since I have a little break in my day I guess I'll update.
I'm starting to get the hang of this stay-at-home-mama job down. And I'm actually enjoying it... Although it has been a huge transition/change for me to do so. I never realized going from driving a hour+ round trip every day and having 9 hours of Adult interaction to kid only interaction with most week days not even leaving the house would be such a hard thing for me. But it's definitely been a lot harder than I thought. I actually have been kinda stressed with all the changes(from not working to having 2 kiddos running around here), etc in all honestly. I'm hoping soon that stress will soon go down a little. But on the bright side I have enjoyed spending LOTS of time with Desi and for a while Isaac. Unfortunately, Isaac left to go back up to Wyoming with his mama. But he will be back to hang out with us again! For about 9 days, while Isaac was still here, Mike's mom and step-dad (who live in West Virginia about 4 hours away from my mama and dad) came and visited with us. It was nice meeting them and getting to know them. Desi loved hanging out with them as well. They are fun people! And now it's just Desi, Mike, and me again. Needless to say we have been spending a LOT of time in the pool. Desi always has been and still is my water babay. Unfortunately, she leaves to go to spend the rest of the summer up in Utah, next Friday the 24th. She will be there for about 5 LONG weeks. But when she comes back, 2 weeks later she will officially be turning 5(on August 14th)and starting Kindergarten(August 15th)!!!! She is beyond excited. But I can't believe how fast these years have gone! My 'baby' is growing up! Way too fast! Oh and have I mentioned how tall she is?? She is as tall as most 6 year olds are! And she's all legs! So yea, while she's gone, I'm going to be rather lonely during the day...which means lots of working on my tan and I am thinking about joining Curves with one of my friends, Heather to give me something to do...
Other than that, not too much going on right now. Desi just got her summer hair cut which is absolutely adorable on her! And I got another new pair of shoes... i LOVE www.shoedazzle.com . Easy way to afford my shoe habit! Oh and it's offically summer in AZ, which means HOT HOT HOT temps that I LOVE! Yesterday it was 106! *100 degree temps-oh how I have missed you!*

FUN!!!!!

Just a short post cause I don't have a lot of time right now, but I am still adjusting to the whole stay at home mom job since I'm used to 8.5 hours of adult interaction as opposed to 18 hours of 1year old/4 year old interaction... So it's a transition for me. But I'm having fun none the less... Here's a few pics of the fun...
